Only last year there were talks of wedding bells for dancehall couple Ishawna and Foota Hype, but now the singer says their relationship has ended.

In April last year, congratulatory words flowed their way when it was announced that the two would be getting married after nearly a decade together.

But yesterday, Ishawna disclosed that she has parted ways with selector Foota Hype.

"It's done, I am just doing me," she told THE WEEKEND STAR.

"We have to deal with each other regardless 'cause we work together. There is no bad vibe or anything, but because of personal issues, we call it quits. Sometimes, that's just how it is in life, nobody knows the answer."

She was, however, tight-lipped about the reason for the split that she says took place a few weeks ago.

Nonetheless, she says she does not expect there to be any awkwardness between them despite being in the relationship for almost nine years and having a child together.

"Winnie and Nelson Mandela had a child together and they still worked together. It's just one of those things, I don't know what the future holds. At this moment, we both understand that this is not working. At the end of the day, I still have love for him," Ishawna said.
